Alliance for Youth Organizing

Alliance for Youth Organizing (formerly the Bus Federation Civic Fund) is a nationwide network of organizations building political power of young people, and the premier youth vote vehicle in the United States.

It began as grassroots young people’s organizations united to support each other, raise resources together, and learn from each other’s best ideas. Our earliest affiliates named the national network after one of their earliest shared programs – “Bus Trips” taken to knock on doors for progressive causes. As our network pivoted into winning national issue campaigns and supporting locally rooted youth organizing everywhere, we found a new identity to match our newer, bigger mission…and “the Alliance” was born!
